A Generational Wristwatch, From My Father’s Wrist To Mine. This post has taken me quite a while to write, I’ve started, I’ve stopped, and I’ve come back to it during moments of inspiration.

Like many other watch enthusiasts, when the words “Lunar Watch” come to mind, flashes of the iconic Omega Speedmaster flirt into our imaginations. It is a grail watch for most, and has always held a special place in my heart.
